There we are: 24!! *yeah* That was a nice musical journey! Thank you all for joining and for all your lovely comments. I had a blast doing this calendar and was happy to know that you had too! Merry, wonderful, peaceful holidays to all of you!

And below is a tiny gift. It's the whole playlist of this advent calendar. So you can listen to all the songs in a row more comfortably. Have fun and see you in 2012!

This is the soundtrack to »3 Wishes (or better 3 Hazelnuts) for Cinderella«. A Czech movie that became a classic here. We watch it every year at christmas time. Here is a small excerpt where Cinderella (with a small hint by the owl) finds out, that the hazelnuts are more than mere nuts. Love her tights at the end, by the way.

Today's gif is a little bit bigger than usual. Sorry if this puts someone's computer or internet connection on its limit. I just couldn't get it smaller. Have a wonderful advent weekend! The calendar goes on, of course, during the weekend :)!

Christmas time is filled with music, so I decided to do an advent calender here on the blog with just that…some christmas songs I like, accompanied by little drawings. Hope you like it! And here is day 1 (just press Play on the player below).

There he is! Again 24 illustration students and alumni of the Bauhaus-University Weimar created an advent calendar! By opening the closed fold every day till christmas, you can peek inside to see the nice, hidden illustration. You can buy it here online, BUT I wouldn't recommend buying it if you do not understand German (some have added text to their picture!) // (Cover made by my fellow organizer and great illustrator Franziska Walther. Thanks Fraenzi! :)

Great news with many feathers and very big eyes! Some weeks ago Shivani from »My Owl Barn« asked me if I wanted to participate in the Owl Lover 2012 calendar project. And well, it happens I'm an owl lover too and happily said »Yes«! The Owl Calendar 2012 went online today, so if you also have an affection for owls and are in need of a nice calendar for next year, you can go here and vist my owl, dancing among 45 others. You can select the images you love the most and create your own free calendar and download it. Great, right?! So, off you go! Schuhuuu!

I've finally seen »Pina« at the cinema. Best. 3D-movie. ever. And now my favourite movie of the year. So many gorgeous pictures, a great insight into the work of Pina Bausch and intense music. I listened to the score the whole week. Especially this piece. Dance, dance into the weekend!
